View SamplesThe insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis is an important signaling pathway in the growth and survival of many cell types and has been implicated in multiple aspects of cancer progression from tumorigenesis to metastasis. The multiple roles of IGF signaling in cancer suggest that selective inhibition of the pathway might yield clinically effective therapeutics. Here we describe A-928605, a novel small molecule inhibitor of the receptor tyrosine kinase responsible for IGF signal transduction. This small molecule is able to abrogate activation of the pathway as shown by effects on the target and downstream effectors and is shown to be effective at inhibiting the proliferation of an oncogene addicted tumor model cell line (CD8-IGF1R 3T3) both in vitro and in vivo.

View SamplesVemurafenib is a BRAF inhibitor with specificity for the most common BRAF mutant encountered in melanomas (BRAFV600E). Vemurafenib suppresses the proliferation of BRAF mutant human melanoma cells by suppressing downstream activation of the MEK/ERK mitogen activated protein kinases.
Response of BRAF-mutant melanoma to BRAF inhibition is mediated by a network of transcriptional regulators of glycolysis.

View SamplesIntegrins facilitate intercellular movement and communication. Unlike the promiscuous activities of many integrins, 6 integrin is restricted to epithelia and partners exclusively with integrin V to modulate acute lung injury (ALI). Given that ALI is a complication of respiratory infection, we used mice lacking 6 integrin (6 KO) to probe the role of the epithelial layer in controlling the lung microenvironment during infection. We found 6 KO mice were protected from disease caused by influenza and Sendai virus infections. They were also protected from disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae infection alone and after prior influenza virus infection, the co-infection representing an often-lethal condition in humans. Resistance in the absence of epithelial 6 integrin was caused by intrinsic priming of the lung microenvironment by type I interferons through a mechanism involving transforming growth factor- regulation. Expression of 6 on epithelia suppresses the production of interferons, providing an advantage to the pathogen. Acute inhibition of 6 function may therefore provide a means to improve outcomes in lung microbial infections.
